You moved like a white lightingIn the dark cloud of opponent's defense; Other strikers saw opponent's goal post, You aimed to shoot there, There was one word that fed youIn your entire football career –Goal, goal, goal.Not only Argentine fansBut football lovers worldwideWere crazy because of you, You were crazy for them, too. You risked and sacrificed your bodyFor the enjoyment of millions of fansWho saw unarguably best skills ofDribbling and body movementIn entire football arena.Some say, you are the football God, Some say, you are the prince of football, I say, you are a tiger In white and Indigo stripes...
